Program Overview

Sea turtle and marine conservation volunteer abroad projects are fun and combine your beach vacations with meaningful work which goes a long way in the concentrated efforts globally to prevent these enchanting marine creatures from going extinct. All seven sea turtle species are endangered today and without conservation turtles may soon be pushed to the brink of extinction. Our Sea Turtle and Marine Conservation volunteer abroad programs will bring you to exotic locations that are nesting sites for turtles. By joining hands with trained biologists and local conservation groups you can help to secure the future of these creatures and also help raise awareness in the local community you will be living in. Volunteers work alongside trained biologists and go on beach patrols, witness nesting turtles, and hatching babies, assist with care of disabled turtles, feeding turtles and cleaning turtle hatcheries. Saving turtles and releasing older babies back into the ocean is a truly scintillating experience! From saving sea turtles in Costa Rica to working with turtles in the Maldives, there are plenty of sea turtle conservation projects waiting for you!

I had a great experience in Turtle conservation Program

Though we didn’t spend much time together but I thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Arranging taxi to Yala, taking me back from the airport. I had everything here. I had a great experience in Turtle conservation Program. Also I saw bad scamming of Sri Lankans and good side of them through this trip. I’ve grown a lot wishing to have another chance to be in Sri Lanka doing such meaningful things.
